Hudson Talent Solutions Earns Dual Honours in Everest Group Assessment 2026
Star Performer recognition highlights Hudson's growing market impact, expanding capabilities, and momentum in the global RPO market.
Hudson Talent Solutions, a global provider of recruitment process outsourcing and talent solutions, has announced that it has been named a Major Contender and Star Performer in Everest Group's Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) PEAK Matrix® Assessment 2026.
The recognition marks a significant milestone for the company and reflects its continued advancement in both market impact and capabilities. The Star Performer designation specifically recognises providers that have demonstrated meaningful year-over-year improvement within the PEAK Matrix® assessment — making it an important indicator of Hudson Talent Solutions' momentum in the global RPO market.
"This recognition validates what we have been building and what our clients are already experiencing. We have made a deliberate choice not to build another traditional RPO company. We are building a more agile, connected, and forward-looking talent solutions business that combines global capability with the responsiveness, creativity, and executive attention clients increasingly expect."
— Jake Zabkowicz, Global CEO, Hudson Talent SolutionsA Broad Talent Solutions Portfolio
Hudson Talent Solutions partners with organisations around the world to solve complex talent challenges through enterprise RPO, project and agile recruitment solutions, talent advisory, employer branding, market intelligence, and technology-enabled recruiting.
That evolution comes at a time when organisations are rethinking traditional approaches to talent acquisition. Rapid advances in artificial intelligence, persistent skills gaps, changing workforce models, and greater pressure to demonstrate measurable business value are collectively reshaping what companies need from their talent partners.
"The market is moving too quickly for one-size-fits-all talent solutions. Clients need partners that can think with them, move with them and adapt as their needs change. They need global capability without unnecessary complexity and innovation that actually improves outcomes."
